Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline relays that the Cincinnati Bengals' quarterback coach was on-hand to watch the work of Illinois QB Wes Lunt on pro day.

Every single NFL team sent a representative to the Illini's pro day outside of the Los Angeles Rams. Lunt was plagued by injury throughout his collegiate career, but managed to compile a fine 42/19 TD/INT ratio when healthy. He's a late Day 3 prospect at best. Thu, Mar 16, 2017 08:45:00 PM

Lunt was on point with his completions and averaged a respectable 7.1 YPA. His 101 yards passing led all quarterbacks in the contest. The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder was injury-prone during his collegiate career with the Illini, but it's not inconceivable that he could see late-round draft interest as a potential backup developmental project.

Injury, including a back injury suffered against Purdue in early October, forced Lunt to miss four games this season. When healthy, the 6-foot-5, 225-pounder threw for 1,376 yards (54.7% completions) with an 8/3 TD/INT ratio. He holds a 42/19 TD/INT ratio for his four-year Illini career. The East-West Shrine Game will be played on January 21, 2017. Tue, Nov 29, 2016 06:59:00 PM

Illinois redshirt senior QB Wes Lunt will miss Saturday's game against Rutgers with a back injury.

This means Chayce Crouch will start with Jeff George Jr. as the backup. Lunt has played fairly well this season, throwing six touchdowns to just one interception. He exited the game against Purdue and could be back for the next game. Illinois currently is 1-4 on the season. Sat, Oct 15, 2016 11:31:00 AM
